What is a Salary Calculator?
A Salary Calculator converts your pay between hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, and annual figures. Whether you are comparing job offers, planning your budget, or negotiating a raise, this tool helps you see the full picture of your compensation.
How to calculate salary manually (the formula)
To convert hourly to annual: Annual = Hourly Rate × Hours per Week × Weeks per Year
To convert annual to hourly: Hourly = Annual ÷ (Hours per Week × Weeks per Year)
Monthly = Annual ÷ 12, Weekly = Annual ÷ Weeks per Year, Daily = Annual ÷ (Days per Week × Weeks per Year)
Example calculation
$25 per hour, 40 hours per week, 52 weeks per year:
Annual = $25 × 40 × 52 = $52,000
Monthly = $52,000 ÷ 12 = $4,333.33
Weekly = $52,000 ÷ 52 = $1,000
Daily = $1,000 ÷ 5 = $200
Common mistakes
- Using 52 weeks for seasonal work — If you work fewer weeks per year, use your actual working weeks. Using 52 weeks overstates your annual income for part-year roles.
- Confusing gross and net pay — This calculator shows gross pay before taxes and deductions. Your take-home pay will be lower after withholdings.
- Assuming all months have 4 weeks — A month averages 4.33 weeks. The formula uses 12 equal months per year for consistent comparison.
- Forgetting unpaid leave — If you take unpaid time off, reduce your weeks per year accordingly to get an accurate annual figure.
Frequently asked questions
What is a salary calculator?
A salary calculator converts your pay between hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, and annual figures so you can compare compensation across different pay periods.
How do I convert hourly to annual salary?
Multiply your hourly rate by the number of hours you work per week, then multiply by the number of weeks you work per year. For example, $25/hour × 40 hours × 52 weeks = $52,000 per year.
How many working weeks per year should I use?
52 weeks is standard for salary comparison. If you take unpaid vacation, adjust down to 50 or 48 weeks. For part-time or seasonal work, use your actual working weeks.
Does overtime affect the calculation?
This calculator assumes a fixed hourly rate. If you work overtime regularly, calculate your total weekly earnings including overtime pay, then enter that as your effective weekly amount.
Should I include bonuses and commissions?
For the most accurate picture, add your average annual bonus and commission to the annual figure. For hourly roles, it is better to keep base pay separate.
What is the difference between salary and hourly pay?
Salaried employees receive a fixed annual amount regardless of hours worked. Hourly employees are paid per hour and may earn overtime. Each has different implications for benefits and tax withholding.
